The North and Central Coast of California have taller trees  (giant coastal redwoods-tallest in the world)  and louder wildlife (the once nearly extinct Elephant Seals of  Piedras Blancas near San Simeon)  than the more robust San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.         Here you will find a respite for tired travelers like the Monarch  Butterfly, the endangered Condor, and the African Crane (along with the other 100 animals of the Sequoia Park Zoo).     Lighthouse after lighthouse after lighthouse after lighthouse has protected these pacific shores - turning the sound of crashing waves into the silence of  a colorful sunset.
